14 ---help---
15 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
16 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
17 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
18 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
19 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
20 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
21 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
22 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
23 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
24 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
25 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
26 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
27 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
28 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
29 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
30 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
31
32 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
33 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
34 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
35
36 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
37 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
38 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
39 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
40 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
41 drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

633 The regular slab allocator that is established and known to work
634 well in all environments. It organizes cache hot objects in
635 per cpu and per node queues. SLAB is the default choice for
636 a slab allocator.

638 config SLUB
639 bool "SLUB (Unqueued Allocator)"
640 help
641 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
642 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
643 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
644 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
645 and has enhanced diagnostics.

647 config SLOB

649 bool "SLOB (Simple Allocator)"
650 help
651 SLOB replaces the SLAB allocator with a drastically simpler
652 allocator. SLOB is more space efficient than SLAB but does not
653 scale well (single lock for all operations) and is also highly
654 susceptible to fragmentation. SLUB can accomplish a higher object
655 density. It is usually better to use SLUB instead of SLOB.

681 bool "Enable loadable module support"
682 help
683 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
684 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
685 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
686 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
687 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
688 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
689 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
690 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
691 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
692
693 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
694 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
695 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
696 this).
697
698 If unsure, say Y.

700 config MODULE_UNLOAD
701 bool "Module unloading"
702 depends on MODULES
703 help
704 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
705 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
706 anyway), which makes your kernel slightly smaller and
707 simpler. If unsure, say Y.
708
709 config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
710 bool "Forced module unloading"
711 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
712 help
713 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
714 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
715 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
716 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
717 If unsure, say N.
718
719 config MODVERSIONS
720 bool "Module versioning support"
721 depends on MODULES
722 help
723 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
724 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
725 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
726 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
727 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
728 unsure, say N.
729
730 config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
731 bool "Source checksum for all modules"
732 depends on MODULES
733 help
734 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
735 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
736 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
737 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
738 others sometimes change the module source without updating
739 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
740 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
741
742 config KMOD
743 bool "Automatic kernel module loading"
744 depends on MODULES
745 help
746 Normally when you have selected some parts of the kernel to
747 be created as kernel modules, you must load them (using the
748 "modprobe" command) before you can use them. If you say Y
749 here, some parts of the kernel will be able to load modules
750 automatically: when a part of the kernel needs a module, it
751 runs modprobe with the appropriate arguments, thereby
752 loading the module if it is available. If unsure, say Y.
